Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

As one of the other titular nerds, I can at least take a stab at that.

We've discussed all the topics, all of them. Even that one that no podcast has done that you wish someone would.
In all seriousness, there are two episodes up and a third in post.

In any case, I can provide the topic list from episode 2 and 3. (I wasn't involved in episode 1, but I'll add the stated topics in-cast)

Episode 1 Topics:
Cast introducing themselves.
Playing pre-established characters in a setting (ie: the Spiderman PC in a group of original PC characters)
Side discussion that was spawned from above: GM vs. Players or adversarial game dynamics
Evil Campaigns
Problem Players

Episode 2 Topics:
“Inverse power gaming”, aka taking four ranks in basket weaving because it ‘enhances roleplaying’
Roleplaying a different race or gender

Episode 3 Topics:
Roleplaying in other mediums
House Rules / Adherence vs GM Fiat
Assigning Homework (or how to deal with the player who writes his PC a novel)
Group Template (ie: the A-team, or the Power Ranger setup.

We do meander and explore offshoots in discussion. So while those are the main topics, we've not stopped ourselves from digressing and finding new topics of discussions.
The two episodes I've been involved in have been fun to record and I look forward to making more.
Eventually, we plan to begin interspersing discussion podcasts with gameplay casts.

1. I enjoy this.
2. Episode 3 isn't up yet.- Edit, beat'd.
3. It would have been interesting if you had addressed women playing men or women playing women while men were also playing women, etc. As a woman gamer/gamemaster, I am interested in this.

Also, it's weird to hear RL people talking about Horseshoe who they know through PBP, when I know him in real life (was one of my first gaming buddies when I started). I wish you guys could game with him in person, he's impressive. Ask him about The Fox sometime. ;)

oooh, I'm gonna get this cause I love you guys. At least, I'm familiar with 2 of the 3 of the 4 nerds IDed in the thread so far.
Though I guess I might have to wait until the apparent bandwidth issue is resolved.

So I am finally listening to this, and I didn't realize that Koyi was fixating, nor did I realize you were cutting her worries short. It just seemed like you were in giving usual GM data. So basically good job at seamlessly fixing something before it became a problem.

GM of M&M "And Justice For All."

Okay, so I just finished listening to the latest podcast, and first off.

Whooo! I was mentioned! I am now famous. I must go prepare my headshots.

Second off, I have actual experience with playing a female character being hit on by a male character (played by a guy). I have also DM'ed NPCs who had pretty involved relationships with characters before. If you want to know what it's like for a real live woman to deal with this, I am available to ask.

Finally, thank you thank you thank you for talking about plot development. It really helped me with my PbPs. I am really revved up for the story now.
